Call Me "White Whale"

Call me ‘Accursed’

Call me ‘All Destroying’

Call me ‘Monstrousest’

They never liked me anyway, yet

They sought me, followed me to the ends

Of the Earth and the depths of the Sheol

Trying to regain what they lost

To what lengths would you go to heal

Your broken

Ahab

Would you really kill the Sun if it insulted you?

Detonate it upon me

Watch the world sink under mushroom clouds

Boil the brine till you bleach out all life

To what lengths would you go Ishmael?

To get the Grade,

The Job?

Find Fame,

Love?

What lengths would you allow yourself to be enslaved

If you search for me, you will find me

Let’s hope I only take your leg
